چکیده
In this paper, the author applied the concept of the Markov chain and divided sales procedures into several indexes and states; use the state index for connecting success in sales and customer relations into Pfeifer’s method, establish a mathematical model, and demonstrate its result. In order to increase profits and decrease the cost of sales for the company, we further classify customers and propose different sale strategies. Case study and analysis are provided to elaborate the approach and its contribution to sales and CRM (customer relationship management) strategy.

Abstract: In recent decades, high profits of extended warranty have caused that third-party firms consider it as a lucrative after-sales service. However, customers division in terms of risk aversion and effect of offering extended warranty on manufacturers’ basic warranty should be investigated through adjusting such services. Since risk-averse customers welcome extended warranty, while the cu...
متن کاملApplication of Markov-Chain Analysis and Stirred Tanks in Series Model in Mathematical Modeling of Impinging Streams Dryers
In spite of the fact that the principles of impinging stream reactors have been developed for more than half a century, the performance analysis of such devices, from the viewpoint of the mathematical modeling, has not been investigated extensively. In this study two mathematical models were proposed to describe particulate matter drying in tangential impinging stream dryers. The models were de...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Analogue Year Daily Rainfall Model and Pricing of Rainfall Derivatives
In this study we model the daily rainfall occurrence using Markov Chain Analogue Yearmodel (MCAYM) and the intensity or amount of daily rainfall using three different probability distributions; gamma, exponential and mixed exponential distributions. Combining the occurrence and intensity model we obtain Markov Chain Analogue Year gamma model (MCAYGM), Markov Chain Analogue Year exponentia...
